Description:
This will be based on the third edition of the classic textbook by RJA Little and DB Rubin, first published in 1987; the second edition was published in 2002, which was a substantial revision of the first edition because it had more focus on computational advances in the intervening decade and a half. The third edition, which should be available in hard-back by the time the course begins, takes further advantage of computational and graphical improvements in the next decade and a half, as well as clarifying terminology and conceptual foundations.
